@BnEm yes I could help with French, also with Spanish and Italian or Esperanto, but I have realized that it is not easy to do such a thing with chess variants. The problem of names of the piece, which is already an issue in English, may become a problem with other languages.

Just to illustrate an Alfil is a Bishop in Spanish, a Cavalier a Knight in French. The Queen in Russian is a Boat and the Bishop is an Elephant. The Bishop is a Fool in French. Of course, things are getting even weirder with other names of characters and animals. If I had to translate Bigorra with its more than 30 different pieces, I may come to some difficulties.
